Chapter 133 Prime Minister Wilson

"However, there are some similarities with the Soviet Union's policy. The institutions in the US-occupied area won't think too much?" Tim Brand agrees with this idea, but he must take into account the feelings of the Americans.

"This is a matter of the British-occupied area. Do whatever works for you. What do you care about the Americans?" Harold sneered, "I heard one thing. The Prime Minister is in a very bad mood. The day after the capitulation began, the Americans had informed London that aid to Britain would cease immediately, this month."

"These greedy Americans, they got so much benefits during the war, but they are so stingy." Several people whispered for a while, how many bases of the British Empire the United States received during the war, it can't be bought with money here.

Don't even want to pretend to be friendly now, and the aid will be cut off the day after Japan surrenders.

"The greed of Americans has been learned by the whole world. If it weren't for their greed, it would not have developed to where it is today." Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. I am too used to being threatened by the Americans, but there will be more such things in the future.

The key is that Britain must retain its current strength. Once it enters a declining track, it will be impossible to save.

"Actually, it's nothing to follow the example of the Soviet Union. We all know that during the Great Depression, the Soviet Union became stronger and stronger. Not only we know, I believe the person who knows the most is our current Prime Minister Attlee." Alan Wilson shrugged, "In fact, we believes that the British Empire now has an advantage over the former Soviet Union."

"Where are the advantages?" Both Tim Brand and Harold were interested. In fact, during the Great Depression, Britain was not ignorant of the changes in the Soviet Union. As Alan Wilson said, Ed Prime Minister Li had a great appreciation for the Soviet Union at the beginning.

It's just that the Conservative Party was in power at the time, and the Labor Party was the opposition party and had little say.

"The method of the Soviet Union's set of administrative instructions is that all the surplus value of a society is owned by the state, and the state holds these surplus values ​​in its hands for sale. It happened to coincide with the Great Depression. The Soviet Union held the resources in its hands Against the trend.” Allen Wilson said eloquently, “In fact, the existence of the Soviet Union is a supplement to our free world, of course, the premise is that we will always be better than them, and maintaining the status quo is the best.”

"We adopted the method of the Soviet Union and deliberately modified the instructions to be specious. Let the Germans doubt the Soviet system, and the long-term living conditions are only kept below the minimum level? After a long time, they will be dissatisfied. And during this time period? We Hold the surplus value of the British occupied territories in your hands through the Board of Trade and the Military Council? Exchange with British India? Then Britain will soon return to prosperity."

"And Germans are generally disgusted with policies similar to the Soviet Union. This can also stabilize Germany and block the Soviet Union? It is simply great."

"We pretend that we are also socialist and penetrate into the enemy's interior? Can this make Germany resent the Soviet system? This is more effective than repeating the evil of the Soviet Union a hundred times.

"Tim Brand clenched his fists, with an excited smile on his face, "Not only should we do this in the British-occupied area, but we should also do the same in British India? Hold the surplus value of both places in your hands? I think Indigenous rationing will soon be abolished. "

"Of course, gentlemen. It is precisely because of hostility that we join in. External pressure will only cause a greater backlash. Let's join in? It is wrong to attribute all the problems after Germany to the Soviet Union. The whole process The British Empire is not responsible! We have learned it, but obviously the Germans are not ready." Alan Wilson also couldn't hide his excitement? "Long propaganda is useless, we only need to let the Germans understand a few sentences Okay? Rationing is socialism, and compulsory labor is socialism.”

"That's right!" Hadro happily took out a bottle of whiskey, opened it together and said, "Let's toast the rationing system."

"Cheers to labor and rations!" Tim Brand added with a smile.

"Cheers to the prosperity of the British Empire? With the British occupation and British India, Britain will get out of trouble quickly. We don't need Americans at all." Alan Wilson also raised his glass, bang...

Over whiskey, the three decided to start a new agency dedicated to involving German women in reconstruction. At the same time, a document was also given to Marshal Montgomery, the commander of the British occupation area, hoping to get the consent of Marshal Montgomery.

After obtaining the approval of the Military Council, the Trade Council of the British Occupied Area formally established the German Women's Work and Labor Bureau, and at the same time announced that the post-war reconstruction labor would be linked to the rations under the rationing system.

The Military Commission and the Trade Commission announced at the same time that women between the ages of 16 and 50, who have no young children who need special care at home or sick elderly, must go to the local labor bureau and assign them jobs.

If eligible women did not report to the Labor Bureau, the Control Committee would not issue them food ration certificates. This ration certificate is very important to every family. Without this certificate, they will not be able to fill their stomachs and may starve to death.

In Bonn, Isabella Bokina transformed into the director of the German Women's Labor Bureau in Bonn, responsible for counting the number of women in Bonn, arranging post-war reconstruction work, and becoming the real authority in Bonn.

The valuables at home have piled up like a mountain, but Isabella Pokina is still dressed plainly, and she goes to the front line to join the labor, and her delicate hands are full of smears, but this attitude is very recognized by the women in Bonn.

Although some gossip said that this young and beautiful woman became what she is today because she became the mistress of the British. But in the current environment where Germany is defeated, this kind of thing is not such a shameful thing.

Many women had an unclear relationship with the soldiers of the occupying army. Isabella Bokina's incident was familiar to all women.

As expected by the Trade Commission, women from all over the British-occupied area were all mobilized, and their enthusiasm for labor had increased many times than before. The urban area full of rubble was also being cleaned up at an alarming speed.

Whether it is Hannover, Cologne, Hamburg, Essen or Bonn, groups of mighty German women are working in urban areas full of rubble. At the same time, they are sorting garbage and separating metal from the ruins. Now Everything in Germany is valuable, at least in the eyes of the common people.

The ports in the British-occupied area also began to prosper, but Alan Wilson felt that the fly in the ointment was when his tobacco machinery would arrive. The last time Alim said it had already passed the Suez Canal.

He can't wait for the tobacco machinery to come soon. Accepting bribes is not a good way to get rich, and it's okay to do it occasionally. If he wants to make money standing up, he must make money through open and aboveboard channels.

However, the news that came first was not the arrival of the freighter, but a member of the House of Commons sent by London to inspect the work.

When Deputy Secretary-General Tim Brand announced at the meeting with a telegram, Alan Wilson asked, "Who is this Congressman? It seems that everyone is not very happy."

"It's Congressman Wilson." Hadro said with a wry smile, "This congressman is not easy to fool, it's a service..."

"Yes, it's service." Tim Brand emphasized his colleague's slip of the tongue, and then explained, "He was originally a civil servant. He resigned as a civil servant in this general election. He joined the Labor Party and participated in the general election. Secretary. He knows our work very well and is a professional person.”

Wilson? prime minister? Alan Wilson remembers that the Labor Party seems to have only one famous figure named Wilson, who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the 1960s and set a record for the most re-election times.

At the end of the war, Harold Wilson began to seek a seat in the House of Commons in the upcoming general election. In the general election, the Labor Party defeated the Conservative Party and won a big victory in the general election. Elected to Congress. But to his surprise, he was immediately hired as Congressional Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service.

But in fact, Harold Wilson is only a twenty-nine-year-old young man this year. He is already a member of the ruling party and secretary of the Parliament. He is also the youngest member of Parliament in the UK.

Alan Wilson knew that the future Prime Minister Wilson had just begun his journey. In the 1960s, he defeated the Conservative Party consecutively. It was not until Mrs. Thatcher came to power that he broke his governing record.

However, members of the Trade Committee are not very willing to come to the British-occupied area to inspect the former civil servants. The reason for this reluctance is that Mr. Wilson understands civil servants, and now he is showing up as a member.

This is very uncomfortable. Whoever receives Congressman Wilson makes the two deputy secretaries-general Hadro and Tim Brand helpless, and they don't want this to happen to them.

"How about I come to receive Congressman Wilson?" Alan Wilson looked at the two deputy secretaries-general for a moment, and secretly sighed that there is such a good thing. The two deputy secretaries-general only saw the unfavorable conditions, but did not expect the risks. coexist with opportunities.

But apart from Alan Wilson, who knows that Harold Wilson, who is about to arrive in the British-occupied area, will be the future prime minister? Only Alan Wilson can see the opportunity, and everyone else sees the risk.

"Alan, you have to be careful." Seeing that the hot potato was taken over, Tim Brand breathed a sigh of relief, but also hoped that Alan Wilson would not make any mistakes.

"I will do my best." Alan Wilson originally wanted to say his best, but when he thought that trying his best might not be enough in the words of civil servants, he temporarily changed the wording.
